Course Overview
Under the right conditions, we will naturally pay close attention to what is important in the moment. However,
conditions around us often require us to work a bit harder to achieve and retain focus on the task at hand. If we
learn to recognize what causes us to lose focus, we can optimize the conditions around us to stay focused as much
as possible. Finding focus is really about understanding what prevents us from focusing.
“It is not enough to be busy; so are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?”
– Henry David Thoreau
